Chapter 48: A little fool and a coward
Cheng Ye caught the heartache and pain in Jiang Mian's eyes.
His heart trembled. Apart from his grandma, Jiang Mian was the only one who felt sad for him.
As for the Cheng family, they only showed a look of pity towards Cheng Fenghao.
"I used to feel depressed, but now it's okay. I'm used to it." Cheng Ye smiled and said in a seductive voice, "Are you worried about me?"
Jiang Mian's eyes were full of doting. "I'm worried about you. Living in this kind of environment for a long time, it's easy to get depressed."
Cheng Ye was silent. Yes, he was really depressed in his previous life.
In his previous life, about a week before the college entrance examination, he suffered a mental breakdown and went to the hospital for a check-up, where the doctor told him that he had severe depression.
The reason why he was severely depressed was because of the Cheng family's favoritism.
However, Cheng's parents and three sisters were unaware of this.
The day before the college entrance examination, on a rainy night, he was driven out of the wealthy family by the Cheng family again, and then was beaten up by thugs secretly arranged by Cheng Fenghao and was seriously injured and hospitalized... His grandmother died on the spot in a car accident on the way to the hospital to bring him food.
He was seriously injured and fell into a coma and missed the college entrance examination. Later, he went to work in a factory and became depressed. He never got over the pain brought to him by his loved ones.
I feel muddled every day and my life is lifeless.
In fact, he could completely prepare for the college entrance examination while working.
If he wasn't so mentally exhausted, he would be able to cheer up and with his talent for learning, he would still have a good life in the future.
However, in his previous life, he was deeply trapped in the swamp of family affection and could not climb out.
Every night before going to bed, he naively fantasized that his parents and sisters were just deceived by Cheng Fenghao and that they did not love him.
Thinking of this, Cheng Ye curled up a sarcastic smile. He was too naive.
Later, he died suddenly while tightening screws. His wandering soul saw the Cheng family. Even though they knew the news of his death, they did not take it seriously and still held a grand birthday party for Cheng Fenghao.
He finally realized that his parents and sisters had never loved him.
Family love is his beautiful fantasy.
The only person who cried for him was Jiang Mian.
Only Jiang Mian held a funeral for him and squatted in front of his tombstone because he cried his heart out.
"Cheng Ye?" Jiang Mian frowned slightly, a little worried, "What are you thinking about? You seem to be worried."
"Nothing." Cheng Ye pulled himself away from his memories of his past life. He looked into her eyes and hooked his finger, "Let me ask you a question."
Jiang Mian came closer obediently, speaking in a soft, feather-light voice, "What's the problem?"
"Do you believe that there would be a girl who has a crush on a boy for ten years?" Cheng Ye stared at her ear which was getting closer and closer and asked slowly.
Jiang Mian tilted her head, confusion flashing across her clear and beautiful eyes. Why did Cheng Ye suddenly change the topic to secret love?
"Secretly in love for ten years? She must be a fool." Jiang Mian looked serious.
"Oh, why?" Cheng Ye couldn't help laughing. In his previous life, Jiang Mian squatted in front of his tombstone, sobbing and confessing to him.
It turns out that she had been secretly in love with him for ten years.
No wonder she followed him wherever he went, and especially liked to tease him, encouraging her to be lazy and absent from work all day long.
If she wasn't the factory director's daughter and the supervisor had chosen to turn a blind eye, he would probably have had his salary deducted.
Jiang Mian puffed up his cheeks, "Stupid! Doesn't she know how to confess?"
Cheng Ye raised his thin lips, and Jiang Mian became so angry that he even scolded himself.
"Yeah, she's really a little fool." Cheng Ye agreed with a smile.
Jiang Mian nodded vigorously, "That's right! A total coward!!"
Cheng Ye laughed out loud, "Well, you're still a coward."
He emphasized again meaningfully, "Little fool, coward." I'm talking about you.
Jiang Mian blinked. What was that expression on Cheng Ye’s face?
"But Cheng Ye, why do you suddenly ask me this question?" Jiang Mian suppressed his strange emotions and asked curiously.
"I just suddenly thought of it. There's no special reason." Cheng Ye said in a light tone.
"Oh oh oh." Seeing that Cheng Ye was no longer worried, Jiang Mian felt relieved and spoke gently and sweetly, "No matter how they see you, I will believe in you and stand firmly by your side."
Cheng Ye raised his hand and rubbed her head, then continued to do the questions.
Jiang Mian obediently picked up the pen and prepared to do his homework.
But when her gaze swept over Cheng Fenghao, a sinister look flashed in her eyes and a cold arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Evening self-study is over.
Chu Xiyan received the results of the housekeeper's investigation. She frowned and walked over, "Cheng Ye, I know you didn't send anyone to beat Feng Hao."
"So what?" Cheng Ye was too lazy to look up.
As soon as Chu Xiyan said this, Cheng Fenghao and his classmates were stunned.
"Feng Hao misunderstood you, and he didn't mean to wrongly accuse you." Chu Xiyan frowned and said, "I hope you don't have any prejudice against Feng Hao. After all, he was beaten so badly that he didn't have time to think carefully about the whole thing."
bias?
Cheng Ye sneered for a moment.
Who is biased against whom?
Without any evidence, he was accused of sending people to bully Cheng Fenghao.
The person who is full of prejudice is obviously Cheng Fenghao.
Cheng Ye took the black bag and slung it over his right shoulder, put one hand in his pocket, and looked extremely indifferent, "Are you done?"
Chu Xiyan instinctively took a step back because of Cheng Ye's cold expression. She felt very unbalanced in her heart.
Cheng Ye would never act in such an arrogant manner towards Jiang Mian, keeping people at a distance.
His attitude towards her was nothing but indifference.
She just didn't understand, what was wrong with her that made her worse than Jiang Mian? !
And she was clearly helping Cheng Ye to clarify this misunderstanding with all the classmates, but Cheng Ye didn't know how to be grateful...
"Cheng Ye, can you stop bullying Feng Hao?" Chu Xiyan took a deep breath and said what she wanted to say most.
Cheng Ye pulled the corner of his mouth, and his slender right leg suddenly moved close to the foot of the stool next to him.
Then the force changed, and the black sneakers kicked the stool fiercely in front of Chu Xiyan, almost hitting her legs.
Cheng Ye's tone was extremely impatient, "Get lost."
Chu Xiyan was frightened and panicked. She stepped back repeatedly, her face full of disbelief and her eyes filled with unspeakable astonishment.
The classmates were also quite frightened.
Chu Xiyan realized the inappropriateness of her words at this time. How could the real and fake young masters possibly live in harmony?
Their identities themselves have huge conflicts of interest and they are destined to stand on opposite sides!
But she was actually trying to persuade Cheng Ye not to bully Feng Hao anymore...
"I'm sorry, I..." Chu Xiyan hesitated and couldn't think of any reasonable words to say.
Chu Xiyan's eyes instantly turned red and she suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
She just hoped that Feng Hao and Cheng Ye could get along well and not deepen the misunderstanding between each other.
Why is Cheng Ye so mean to me?
She didn't do anything wrong...
Cheng Fenghao ran over to comfort Chu Xiyan, but he was not in a good mood.
If it wasn't Cheng Ye who beat him up, then who could it be? !
By the way, Xiyan must have found out the mastermind behind this.
He would find a chance to ask her later when Xiyan's mood returned to normal.
If the Cheng family were to be mobilized to investigate, Cheng's father and mother would definitely know about it.
Cheng Fenghao looked unhappy. He didn't want his parents to know about this, lest they knew that he misunderstood that Cheng Ye bullied him, which would destroy his good image in their minds...
He glanced at Cheng Ye with a strong look of disgust.
Cheng Ye said lazily, "Why, are you two planning to block me from leaving the classroom?"
